Attorney General Jeff Sessions will visit the San Diego border Monday to discuss the immigration enforcement efforts of the Trump Administration.

Justice Department officials said Sessions would hold a press conference with Immigration and Customs Enforcement Deputy Director Thomas D. Homan at 1 p.m. The location was not disclosed.

Sessions' visit follows a March visit by President Donald Trump to Otay Mesa to survey border wall prototypes. Other administration officials also have made recent visits to the border region.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen viewed Calexico's replacement border barrier project on April 18. Less than two weeks later, on April 30, Vice President Mike Pence addressed Homeland Security and Border Patrol employees at the El Centro Border Patrol Station to discuss border wall plans and to call for tougher controls on immigration.

The conference comes a week after a group of Central American asylum seekers arrived at the U.S. border in Tijuana. The group launched their journey across Mexico more than a month ago, fleeing violent and impoverished areas of Central America.

President Trump has been critical of the caravan in recent weeks, often referencing the group when criticizing what he sees as ineffectual immigration laws.
